Coral Gables, Fla. - Two-time National Championship baseball Coach Jim Morris, has been tapped to serve as the celebrity host for the 28th Annual UM Sports Hall of Fame Golf Tournament, to be held on Friday, October 23rd at the luxurious Biltmore Golf Course in Coral Gables.
"I'm delighted to serve as the host of this year's Hall of Fame golf tournament." said Coach Morris.

I look forward to coming back to see everyone at the tournament."
“We are excited to announce we will be hosting our 2020 golf event,” said UMSHoF Immediate Past President and Golf Chairperson, Tracy Kerdyk. “This has been a difficult year for everyone so being able to play golf, have some fun and at the same time raise much-needed funds for the UMSHoF is very special.
